Description Wolfram R. Sieber 2011-05-19 15:57:37 UTC
Version:           4.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

I'm using korganizer with quite a number of categories, not always remembering from the first moment on how exactly I called the category I want do put an event under. So, going to the category list I have to read the whole list to find the category I want to add.

Instead of reading the whole list, one by one, I'd like to have a simple search field where I can enter a search term and the list below would show only those categories that match.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new event, add a category. (Prerequisites: don't remember the name of the category you want to add; have a long list of categories. (How else should I describe how to "reproduce" this? This is a feature request.))

Actual Results:  
I have to read the whole list to find the category I want to add.

Expected Results:  
I can enter search terms, the category list would be shortened accordingly.

NB. KOrganizer version actually is 4.4.7 (Debian only?), but the drop down only offers 4.4.5 and 4.4.10
